No Chance for Yellow Fever Refugees
Getting into Indian River.
JACKSONVILLE. j Jun

Correspondence ~ the PdIdtLd Netrs.
JACKSONVILLE, June II.
Capt. r. p. Paddison, commanding
the steamer ''Rockledge," which runs on
Indian River, arrived in this city to-
east coast of Florida, from Key West to
Indian River Inlet. was thoroughly
guarded.
There are only three places that refu-
gees from Key West can enter in at"
said the captain, land they are Lake
Worth, Jupiter Inlet and Indian River
Inlet. These three iulets are the only
means of ingress into the Indian River,
and they are well looked after.
1T would be impossible for refugees to
stop along the coast and endeavor to
come overland to the settlements, for
glance at the map will show that the
Everglades stretch almost along the en-
tire coast and are impossible. To show
you how strictly the quarantine is kept,
| will give you a case in point. The two
Beard brothers, who lives on Indian
River, near Eden, have just returned
from cruise 10 the DdfidIud IsltIlS,
and although well known by everybody
in that locality, have been quarantined
at Indian River Inlet for fifteen days,
and nothing can induce the citizens to
permit the boys to leave the sloop. Even
suppose the refugees should slip into In
dian River. they could not reach any
point north without passing some Of the
many villages which are built along the
banks. and each of these settlements
carefully examines all passing boats.
again, at Titusville there is a double
quarantine, and anybody would have a
hard time getting by all these places. As
for myself, do not have the slightest
fear that there Is the least possible
chance for yellow fever being intro
duced i'm the State via Indian River, and
you can tell all the people So"

stances are such as to make it exception
ally expensive, or the long haul traffic
exceptionally inexpensive, the difference
being extraordinary and susceptible of
definite proof, nor that the
lesser charge on the longer haul
has for its motive the encouragement of
manufactures or some other branch of
industry, nor that it is designed to build
up business or trade centers, nor that
lesser charge on the longer haul is mere
ly a continuation of the favorable rates
under which trade centers or industrial
establishments have been built up. The
fact that long haul traffic will only bear
certain rates is no reason for carrying
it for less than cost at the expense of
other traffic.

Refuse to Grant the Advance.

PTTTsBURG, June 15.-At the meeting
in this city to-day of all the coke pro-
ducers in the Connellsville region, ex-
cept Carnegie Bros, it was unanimously
resolved to reaffirm their position not to
grant the advance demanded by the
coke workers. The advisability of re-
ducing the price of coke, as demanded
by furnace owners, was also considered.
but no action was taken. Refusing the
demands of the workmen will prolong
the strike indefinitely, and indicates a
determination on the part of the opera
tors to resist the strikers, notwithstand-
ing the action of the Carnegies in grant
